The first two Jialing Jh600(B) are now in Europe!!!!!

[euphonius]

Nope, we checked with a CJ / JH600B dealer last Sunday and the Jialing JH600B sidecar rigs can not be plated in Shanghai....

Dear Pal,

This is true, but we (wishfully) think it's temporary, due mainly to the lack of a precedent and the lack of supporting documents from hapless Jialing, which recently (and inexplicably) sacked its entire marketing department.

There is actually no dealer for any of the JH600 models here in Shanghai; we buy them directly from the factory, with the help of a facilitator here named Liu Zhidong (刘志东). Liu has a contract with Jialing for warranty service, but does not pretend to be a dealer, nor does Fan Peisheng (范配圣), the CJ750 repair guy in Honggu Lu who helps Liu with JH600 service.

Last time I asked Liu about plating of the JH600B in Shanghai, about a month ago, he said that efforts were being made with the Shanghai Vehicle Management Bureau and they expect a positive outcome, but in the interim they are encouraging buyers to plate in Huzhou or other nearby cities in Zhejiang. Not ideal, but it would be wrong to say they can't be plated in China.

In fact, the JH600 and JH600B are widely registrable across China, at least in cities that permit motorcycles. I think Shanghai is an exception and, as noted above, hopefully a temporary one.

cheers!
